Just realized my panel wiring was causing false alarms for months

Had a house in Phoenix where the alarm kept tripping at 3am. Spent a week swapping sensors and checking connections. Turned out the panel was mounted too close to a duct vent, moisture was getting in overnight. Moved it 3 feet over and problem vanished. Anyone else run into weird environmental stuff messing with panels?

Oh man, that moisture thing is brutal. I had a panel in a basement that would freak out every time the dehumidifier kicked on, took me forever to figure out it was just condensation building up inside.

Hey @tessa_kim3, isn't it wild how the smallest environmental factors can mess with electronics way more than we expect?
